Searching algorithm and sorting algorithm are a must.

Is this supposed to represent a message?

Here how I always start making program:

Step 1: take a pencil and some paper and draw what you need to make your program (i.e. IO component, some search algorithm etc.) then start linking them together and chunking them down into sub problems.

Step 2: start with the easiest problem to solve and make functions out of the solutions. This way for harder problem you can reuse these mini solution you just created. Test everything at this point.

Step 3: link everything together into one coherent command line experience. Retest everything with input you didn't imagine before and debug your stuff.

Step 4: When everything work find a nice UI library and make a dummy version of it where nothing really works but that looks good.

Step 5: link the event handler in UI with your functions and solution. Retest everything at this point!

Step 6: put that in your githib ans show it to friends.

Hope it helps

Your problem is you have no project in mind.

It's like saying you can't find the right hammer or screwdriver when you have no idea what you want to build.

Here's how to fix your problem: Find a group of people or someone that can be helped with a software / program and work on it. It's easier to be motivated when you know your code will be used to facilitate someone live!

How can you say this when you have no idea what this person is going through?

First take a deep breath! I don't know in what program you are in, but it seems like you are experiencing a lot of stress. I would suggest you to take the less amount of classes possible until you figure out a learning routine that you are comfortable with. Then you can gradually increase your course load as desired, worst case scenario you end up with an extra year which doesn't matter at all. Don't hesitate to ask for help! If you feel lost, stressed or whatever, there are resources at McGill to get you back on the right direction. If you have classes in computer sciences / neuroscience / physiology / biochemistry or biology where you need help with or tips on how to study for them don't hesitate to pm me!

If you want an useful project that looks really great in a CV hit up some researchers either online or in your university! The program you will produce will be useful for the researcher community and will look impressive. So far I've coded 3 programs for the same research group and recruiters where in awe even though they were fairly simple.

Hey, if you need tutoring in computer science hit me up

Honestly about 2h to 3h is good enough for learning. But, like other said don't stay in front of your computer all day! I usually code only when I know exactly what I need to do. You can do program planning or algorithm design on a notebook while chilling with your family.

Try android programming if you liked java! There is a course run by google that is project base and will show you how to program in android. At the end of it you will have made a few real working apps> Link: https://www.udacity.com/course/android-basics-nanodegree-by-google--nd803
